While walking through the jungle to inspect an overhang off the side of the road, I found this little fella. Was growing on a small vine and looked edible, so home it went. After asking a local Chamorro friend what it was and she not knowing, we went to the internet. Using this picture and after much searching we decided on it being an Ivy Gourd.
That evening, slicing it open revealed it to definitely appeared to be a Ivy Gourd. So, into the pan it went.
Dinner had never been so exciting! Was I going to die? We no, no that was not going to happen as people in India eat it as a curry everyday. However it was fun to eat something you pulled out of the jungle a day before.
